Description:

Jacl (which stands for Java Application Command Language) is a
platform independent scripting language for Java. The feature set and
functionality of Jacl are structured to mirror the scripting language
Tcl version 8.0. In addition to the write-once-run-anywhere
philosophy, Jacl provides it's user with two other key concepts.
First, Jacl enables users to write Tcl extensions entirely in Java.
Extension writers can use the classes supplied in tcl.lang.*, as well
as any other classes, to write portable extensions. Second, Jacl
includes the Java Package, which provides a direct Tcl interface to
Java Objects. For example, the Java Package contains a Tcl command,
java::info, that provides a Jacl user with information about the
public methods, fields, etc. of a given Java class or object. The Java
Package enables the user to script Java.
